"Was asking for my gmail username and password after a kid played with the..."

My Galaxy Y was asking for my Gmail username and password after a kid played with the pattern screen. However, thank God, I found a way to get out of the “too many pattern attempts” screen without wiping out any data.

If you’re in the same boat I was in, and you aren’t sure of your password, maybe this will help you, too

First off, using your computer, change your password on Gmail.

Going back to your phone, press the emergency call button. While on the emergency call screen, drag down* the black bar on top of the screen. (I really don’t know what it’s called, it’s the area where your notifications, signal and battery status as well as the time are indicated).

Turn Wi-Fi mode on.

Go back to the “too many pattern attempts” page and enter your username** with your new password.

NOTE:
*In my case, when my phone was bricked, I had notifications of new messages. After my phone was unbricked and got to clear all notifications, I went back to the emergency-call page again (as it is accessible when you regularly lock your phone with a pattern) and tried dragging the black bar down. I couldn’t. Main point is, maybe it helps when you have notifications.
**Try doing it with and without the ‘@gmail.com’ if it doesn’t work because I forgot if I did.

When you are not able to enter your password or the password is incorrect you always will have the option to perform a hard reset on the device which will wipe out all data but will allow you to remove the password screen as well on your device.

Below are the steps that you will need to take in order to factory reset your device successfully:

-Power off your device before pressing any button combinations below
-Hold home + volume up + power button until the boot menu appears then release the button
-Use the volume keys to select factory data reset/wipe data
-Press the power button to make the selection
-Select OK to confirm the hard reset
-After the reset is completed then use your volume keys to highlight reboot device
-Press the power button to begin rebooting the device

At this time the device will turn itself back with its factory reset settings in order to allow you to get past the lock screen on your device.
